Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps

Alison Krause no one better

She's been mentioned quite a few times already, but listen to Linda Rondstadt doing `Adios', a song written by Jimmy Webb with Brian Wilson producing and providing backing vocals (Cry Like a Rainstorm album). The final note that she hits always sends shivers up my spine, it is just so good.

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, O Mio Babbino Caro
(title of the video clip is misspelled).

Or for an example of her singing something non-operatic, Climb Every Mountain
(don't miss her remarkable 13 second last note).

Hi Al

Many years back A friend gave me a copy of "Kiri sings Gershwin" released in 1989 on EMI Classics. For a really different presentation of Gershwin standards from an operatic singer, you might want to check it out.

Thanks very much, Tubegroover. Will do.

I've seen her live in concert once, about 20 years ago in New Haven, CT, performing various classical songs. One of the most exceptional concerts I've ever attended.

Best regards,
